According to a report from Beijing Daily's client, on November 28, the Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference.

A journalist asked, the erroneous remarks of Takahashi Asako have been opposed and criticized by the international community and knowledgeable people in Japan, but the Taiwan authorities have repeatedly shown "support" for Takahashi. Recently, Lai Ching-te expressed so-called "support" by eating sushi. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?

Mao Ning responded that Japan once colonized Taiwan for half a century, committing heinous crimes. The ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities' act of "flattery towards Japan for secession" is despicable. The comments on Taiwan by Japanese Prime Minister Takahashi Asako interfere with China's internal affairs, sending a serious wrong signal to the "Taiwan independence" separatist forces, endangering the peace and stability of the Taiwan Strait.

"This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the 80th anniversary of the recovery of Taiwan. Japan should deeply reflect on its historical guilt, learn from historical lessons, and abide by the One-China Principle, being cautious in its words and actions on the Taiwan issue," Mao Ning pointed out. We demand that Japan recall its erroneous statements, stop interfering in China's internal affairs, and demonstrate its commitment to China through concrete actions.

Previously, when Takahashi Asako made her false remarks on Taiwan and Sino-Japanese relations became increasingly tense, the leader of the DPP authorities in Taiwan, Lai Ching-te, publicly displayed a photo of eating sushi on social media to express his support for Japan. In addition, the DPP authorities recently announced the complete lifting of restrictions on food from five areas including Fukushima in Japan in Taiwan, and requested to "quickly organize a group to visit Japan for tourism" to compensate for the reduction of mainland tourists. Some politicians in Taiwan even shouted the extreme slogan "If Japan has a problem, Taiwan has a problem."
